Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein neues Verfahren zur Herstellung von 2-Chlor-5-methyl-pyridin.The invention relates to a new process for the preparation of 2-chloro-5-methyl-pyridine.

Es ist bekannt, daß man 2-Chlor-5-methyl-pyridin neben 2-Chlor-3-methyl-pyridin, 4-Chlor-3-methyl-pyridin und 3-Chlor-5-methyl-pyridin erhält, wenn man 3-Methyl-pyridin-1-oxid mit Phosphorylchlorid umsetzt (vgl. Weissberger, Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Pyridine and its Derivatives, Vol. 14, Supplement, Part 2, S. 112). Hauptprodukt dieser Umsetzung ist 4-Chlor-3-methyl-pyridin; der Anteil an 2-Chlor-5-methyl-pyridin liegt im allgemeinen unter 25 %.It is known that 2-chloro-5-methyl-pyridine can be obtained in addition to 2-chloro-3-methyl-pyridine, 4-chloro-3-methyl-pyridine and 3-chloro-5-methyl-pyridine if 3 -Methyl-pyridine-1-oxide is reacted with phosphoryl chloride (see Weissberger, Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Pyridine and its Derivatives, Vol. 14, Supplement, Part 2, p. 112). The main product of this reaction is 4-chloro-3-methyl-pyridine; the proportion of 2-chloro-5-methyl-pyridine is generally less than 25%.

Es wurde nun ein neues Verfahren zur Herstellung von 2-Chlor-5-methyl-pyridin der Formel (I)

und Phosphorylchlorid gefunden, welches dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß man die Umsetzung in Gegenwart einer basischen organischen Stickstoffverbindung der Reihe Dialkylamine, Trialkylamine, Dialkylcycloalkylamine, Dialkylaralkylamine und Dialkylarylamine und in Gegenwart eines inerten organischen Lösungsmittels bei Temperaturen zwischen -50 °C und +50 °C durchführt und das Reaktionsprodukt in üblicher Weise aufarbeitet.A new process for the preparation of 2-chloro-5-methyl-pyridine of the formula (I) has now been

and phosphoryl chloride, which is characterized in that the reaction is carried out in the presence of a basic organic nitrogen compound from the series dialkylamines, trialkylamines, dialkylcycloalkylamines, dialkylaralkylamines and dialkylarylamines and in the presence of an inert organic solvent at temperatures between -50 ° C. and +50 ° C. and work up the reaction product in the usual way.

Es ist als überraschend anzusehen, daß gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren unter Verwendung von basischen organischen Stickstoffverbindungen 2-Chlor-5-methylpyridin in erheblich höherer Ausbeute als nach der bisher bekannten Methodik erhalten werden kann, da bei Einsatz von Phosphoryl-chlorid und basischen organischen Stickstoffverbindungen nebeneinander eher mit Nebenprodukten aus der Reaktion dieser Komponenten miteinander zu rechnen war.It is surprising that according to the process of the invention using basic organic nitrogen compounds, 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine can be obtained in a considerably higher yield than according to the previously known methodology, since when phosphoryl chloride and basic organic nitrogen compounds are used side by side by-products from the reaction of these components were more likely.

Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens liegen neben der guten Ausbeute am gewünschten Produkt auch darin, daß der Anteil an isomeren Nebenprodukten wesentlich geringer als bei der bisher bekannten Synthesemethode ist. Weiterhin kann man, falls erwünscht, aus dem Reaktionsprodukt die reine Verbindung (I) leicht durch übliche Methoden, zum Beispiel durch destillative Trennung herstellen.In addition to the good yield of the desired product, advantages of the process according to the invention are also that the proportion of isomeric by-products is significant is lower than in the previously known synthesis method.
